Lawyer haters and tort reformers, this is your lucky day. We have for you not one, but two separate lists of the most ridiculous lawsuits ever filed. Even better, there is surprisingly little overlap between them. Thus, from one top-10 list and another top-11 list, we net a grand total of the 18 most ridiculous lawsuits ever.

1. The man who sued Budweiser after drinking its beer brought him no hot babes2. The prisoner who sued himself for violating his own civil liberties3. The judge's pants suit. You know the one4. The suit by Batman, the city in Turkey, against Batman, the movie5. The 77-year-old man who sued the 19-year-old woman who said no6. The driver who sued the family of the bicyclist he killed for damage to his car7. The Michael Jordan lookalike who sued Nike for making Jordan too recognizable8. The parents who sued Oliver Stone after two thugs who watched his movie went on a crime spree9. The man who demanded his cheating wife return the kidney he'd donated to her10. The copyright battle over two separate recordings of silence.

1. The woman suing Sacha Baron Cohen for offensively touching her at a bingo hall2. The traffic cop who sued Victoria's Secret over an eye injury from her thong3. Jordan lookalike v. Nike, supra4. The man named "Jack Ass" who claimed the TV show "Jackass" defamed his good name5. A man who sued the show "Fear Factor" for making him sick6. A man who sued for emotional distress after finding women in a unisex bathroom7. Beer drinker v. Budweiser, supra8. The woman who sued Wendy's after planting a finger in her chili9. Family v. Oliver Stone, supra10. The suit over Sea World's failure to warn that killer whales kill11. The woman who says Victoria Secret's bra violated her patent

Note to those who would say these cases prove the legal system needs reform: Virtually all of theseridiculous cases were thrown out of court.
